Not sure what these codes mean
Whenever I hit a pothole or bump I get the following warning lights, 4x4, BRAKE and DSC warning.As well as the following messages on my iDrive, " Chassis Stabilization Malfunction", "DBC Malfucntion" and "Start-Off assistance inactive" as well as the chime. These lights do not go away til after I shut off the car and restart it. They only go on after i hit a bump. Its not my steering angle sensor since even when these lights go off, my turn signals still work fine as well as my adaptive headlights. My friend pulled the codes and they are as follows. Is it a bad transfer case? or bad dsc module? Dealer say this is normal. Please help, its greatly appreciated.

Thats complete bullshit, not normal at all
More than likely there is a loose electrical connector either to the DSC module, the transmission, or the other end of those cables. It is also possible the ABS sensor in the wheelwell is loose to the hub or the wiring. |

Usually when there's a minor power (eg battery undercharged) problem in xi, this warning shows up. All you need to do is to turn the steering to the full left, then full right, and it should go away.

Does it matter what wheel hits the pot hole?
Definitelly seems like a connection that is lose that disconnects for a second during impact. Could be a speed sensor. If you had any recent work done i would go over any wires that may have been disconnected during the work. |

i installed a subwoofer and amp, but it was around the same time i bought the car. so its hard to tell if it was always happening or the sub caused it. But anyway, i have check my connections at the battery and theyre super tight. When my technician read the codes, he said one was logged at 11.7 volts and another at 13.4 volts. so it happens at both high and low voltage

Plea for help.
I can't start my own thread yet but I seriously need advice. Sorry to interrupt the thread. I have the 335i with only 37K miles. Today my engine light came on and then another big light that looks like the engine with a slash mark. The car started and was vibrating quite a bit. Let her warm up and still had this. Very little power when moving so after one block I put her back in the garage. Feels like the engine is way out of balance. Maybe the fuel pump or something. Feels like an american V-8 when you forget to put one of the sparkplugs back on and its not balanced. ANYONE have any idea what this could be. Right now I have no vehicle. It's got less than 40k miles and I've not seen any maintenance lights until this AM. Please help. |
